THIEVES with a sweet tooth pulled off a chocolate heist when they stole £20,000 of confectionary.
The tasty loot was taken from a storage unit on the Sherburn in Elmet Industrial Estate, North Yorkshire, between 2pm on Saturday and 7am on Monday.
Thieves stole four pallets of Dairy Milk Moments, which are only sold in the Republic of Ireland. They also took a pallet of Hello Kitty chocolate eggs.
PC Martin Temple, of North Yorkshire Police, said: "As Dairy Milk Moments aren't commercially available in England they will be easily identifiable as stolen."
